Has anyone configured a new package for Debian more recent than April 2013 that is ideal for those not sufficiently versed in DIY compiling? |
I don't think so, but 0.7.4 is only a maintenance/bugfix. It adds support for OSX, which you don't need, and:

Other than any changes/bugfixes brought by Qt5.1.1 (or 5.2-beta), the changes to Sigil itself are quite trivial. Mainly, when opening a file, any unicode non-breaking space characters are converted to the numeric entity (#160) instead of the named entity (nbsp). That way it won't break documents that didn't have (or need) a doctype. All of the handful of changes have to do with that.
If you don't really use unicode characters or entities (or all of your (x)html files already have the right doctype declaration), there's probably no real advantage to be gained. Nor any harm, for that matter.  |
In other words, you may very well not need any of the (minor) improvements in 0.7.4, if so, don't bother???
You may also want to take a look at calibre's latest feature, ebook-edit.exe as it is the spiritual heir of Sigil. It's already quite good.
